      @@lafezekangema__ I’ve found finance to be very manageable. The only math class I had to take was business calculus my freshman year. I placed out of the basic math class with my ACT score. Accounting and finance classes can involve some math though. Accounting is almost exclusively addition and subtraction. Finance sometimes involves ratios and you have to know how to calculate stuff like projected earnings, interest, dividends, etc. You’ll still have to take accounting classes as a finance major, but more finance classes than accounting.

    Hey Antoine! I'm planning on majoring in accounting but am confused on choosing my minor in MIS or Finance.
    So for MIS the pro can be the technical skills that I can gain which will help me win against the automation in accounting since accounting is getting automated. The con might be that MIS is coding and maths heavy. Is the math more difficult in MIS or Finance?
    As for finance I feel like if I someday would want to work as an investment banker or any other finance roles, I wouldn't be able to do so if I choose MIS as my minor instead of Finance. And can I develop the technical skills that would help me win against the automation by doing some certificates in IT instead of minoring in MIS? I feel like I can later on develop tech skills but can't go back to do a minor in finance. What would be your advice? I would highly appreciate your answer❤

      If the topic is just about which degree to get?
      Then (It seems) students can never know what they will enjoy, until they are already in it and want to switch degrees/ majors/ careers because it's nothing like what they thought it would be.
      I am thinking:-
      1. financial accounting
      2. management accounting
      and
      3. finance should ALL (three) be compared side by side.
      so a distinction between a "Management Accountant" vs "Financial Analyst" could be brought forward, because I can't find these two ideas being compared anywhere.
      But, in all of these comparative videos between Accounting and Finance, the idea that "Finance" focuses on the future whilst "Accounting" focuses on the past is heavily promoted.

      @@ElevateToTheUnknown Ohh nice! And I heard that accounting is more for you if you like a more structured work, but it’s also repetitive and I’m afraid that I’ll regret choosing it. I’m also considering marketing, but I don’t know. I still have 2 years to decide so I guess I shouldn’t stress too much about it

    What does it mean to get a minor in something? What is the difference from a degree?

    • @ElevateToTheUnknown
      @ElevateToTheUnknown  2 роки тому +1

      Well you can't get a minor without having a major so a major is the primary field of study and a minor is the secondary field of study. Do a quick google search and it will explain it.

      Yes. That way you can get closer credits to a quick CPA takes 2 years. Then get any finance carts like CFA or another with less school.
